Talk:Wizards Beyond Waverly Place

Original Network: Disney Channel and/or Disney+?

I'm not really up on Disney series, so I don't know if this is typical for them or not. Most sources from today's series order co-list Disney Channel and Disney+ as networks. We may not know until the series actually releases, but for the time being should Disney+ be added as an original network?

Here's a quick compilation of the sources from the article:

• Disney Branded Press states, "slated to premiere later this year on Disney Channel and Disney+"
• The Hollywood Reporter states, "The show will premiere this year on both Disney Channel and Disney+."
• The A.V. Club states, "Disney+ greenlights Selena Gomez's Wizards Of Waverly Place revival"
• The Wrap states, "The new show will premiere on Disney Channel and Disney+ later this year"
• Variety states, "‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ Sequel From Selena Gomez and David Henrie Gets Series Order at Disney Channel and Disney+"
• Deadline Hollywood states, "with a premiere tentatively scheduled for later this year on Disney Channel and Disney+"

@Cqntralls, Amaury, MPFitz1968, and Geraldo Perez: pinging the other regular contributor of this article and a few of those I know contribute to Disney[+] series more often who may not have this page on their watchlist yet. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:26, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

I did change back as this needed to be brought here, :@HotDogsforDays and YoungForever:, reverted as well. Mainly went by Cqntralls edits. This should be addressed as this could e an issues when Phineas and Ferb Season 5 airs as that will be brought up as hat show will air on Disney Channel and Disney Plus as well. I took a look at Raven's Home and it does appear that this show did only go by Disney Channel airings. Magical Golden Whip (talk) 03:34, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

This TV series is a Disney Channel series, not a Disney+ series. Disney+ is a secondary network, not the primary network. — YoungForever^(talk) 03:37, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

That's clear now, wasn't as clear when I posted this 7 months ago. I'd no longer support listing D+ as an og network, just need to solve the issue of the episode count. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:15, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Re pining @Cqntralls, Amaury, MPFitz1968, and Geraldo Perez: as not sure if this was ever resolved as no comments were made and edits are being challenged.Magical Golden Whip (talk) 03:37, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

If it premiered on Disney Channel first, then Disney Channel is its original network. Cqntralls (talk) 03:40, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

It released the first nine episodes on Disney+ six hours after it released the first two on Disney Channel. This isn't like the normal case where Disney+ gets the series after it has completed its run on Disney Channel. Disney is doing a concurrent release on both of its outlets here. I'd consider both the original release channels as Disney advertises it and how the release schedule demonstrated it. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:30, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

I have no issues with listing Disney Channel as the only original network, regardless, 9 episodes have been released so far, and that's how it should be listed in the Infobox. It's an official release and it doesn't matter that they haven't aired on DC yet. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:17, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

I generally agree. Number of episodes in infobox is number that have been released, no matter the outlet. Instructions in infobox are conflicting a bit as it says both released and aired. Used to mean the same thing before streaming. Intent seems to be number released, airing is one release method. Geraldo Perez (talk) 05:28, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

I'll say increment number of episodes when it is airs on Disney Channel because Disney Channel is the primary network. — YoungForever^(talk) 21:10, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

I left a message on WT:MOS/TV and WT:TV asking for additional input on the episode count. TheDoctorWho (talk) 18:12, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
